Found Used Table Saw

[Bruce Weldy]

I'm assuming the casters on that table are the locking style?

Yes they are, but I never lock 'em. The table is heavy enough that its not really a problem.

Gotcha. That table looks handy indeed. Great job!

I don't have the luxury of leaving the table saw out, so having the outfeed table detached makes storage very easy. If I had the room, I'd do just what you did.....plus I'd have the other table too. And having the power on there is a must. I keep one cord plugged in all the time, then I can roll it wherever I want and still have power. Right now, I'm building my V-plate and I've got a fan plugged in - it's raining, humid, and hot.

I barely have the luxury of having the table attached, but that's only because I compromised with the wife. I get the garage to do with as I please (as long as she can pull her car in) and she can do with the rest of the house what she wants. Least our tastes are similar!

I know that fan is a life saver. The climate near San Antonio where you are isn't much different than over here in Houston. Just like you said: raining, humid and HOT. I need a REAL fan. That little white box fan of mine aint cutting it.

Ya'll have got some of the best recommendations! I'll likely be doing that with the outfeed table. Love the power access on the table. Very cool.

If you want I have a couple of pics of the table being built....I could email 'em as they are too small to get much detail on this board.

Or, just sit down and draw one out ...... then you can have power, wheels, racing stripes.....whatever you want.

Looks very similar to my Craftsman 3HP belt driven model.

Looks like the one my son bought. Good saw, replace the fence. You'll spend more on a good fence than the saw.

Does it have to be a fence for this particular saw?

Thanks!

Nope, you replace the rails. It usually requires some drilling and tapping. A deadly accurate fence makes a cheap table saw into a great tool. As does the panel jig.

Xacta Fence, Bisenmeyer, are the two names that spring to mind.

+1 - The panel jig is an absolute must. You won't want to make a cut without it once you build it.

I've contacted the seller to see what we can do, so I hope it will work out...keeping my fingers crossed. So the cast iron table is the primary good thing for this table right?

[Zack Brock]

That and the outboard motor with belt driven blade. You'll need to make sure everything is square and true on it, and if not, make sure you can make it square and true. If it is the Craftsman I have, its pretty easy to adjust.

I believe I've found a good table saw and should be picking it up tomorrow morning. It's a Craftman with cast iron table, belt driven motor, stand and 10" blade. This is it here: http://brunswick.craigslist.org/tls/1839709563.html

It is only 1HP... you might want to pass on that. My Craftsman is similar but 3HP. I would take some material with you to make some test cuts.

Shoot....for $75 - if it works it's a steal....even with 1HP. You're just cutting 1/2 in. plywood. Spend $50 on a new blade and you'll be good to go.
